40 MP APS-C sensor has the same pixel density as 90 MP FX. I wonder how noisy such a sensor could be (at ambient temperature).
Don’t know. But I rarely want to go beyond iso3200 on the current Nikon 45MP sensor.
Let say if useable ISO1600 on a 40MP aps-c sensor, I would rather take the 1 stop hit in ISO but get 50% more reach for my birding.
This is the same reason why I never went D4/D5/D6 even though their noise performance is better at the pixel level than D800/D850/Z7/Z9. I rather have the extra reach from the higher MP sensor and keep my iso low.
Besides, the extra pixels allows me to use smaller lens and keep the bare lens IQ without any TC. I don’t need 1.4x TC on the 600mm to get to 850mm f5.6 that degrade the lens IQ a bit. I can use a 600f4 bare lens on a higher MP camera and shoot at f4 and crop for the reach. YMMV.
I don’t see a 24MP aps-c sensor a viable option for me since I already have a 20MP aps-c in my Z9. 30MP maybe. But 40MP, I’ll definitely swipe the credit card for it.
